Yes I remember Mrs Batson. A terrific Wimbledon fan. And wasn't her husband involved in midget car racing along with Percy Brine at some time in the late 1950s - believe they tested the car at Aldershot and also tried to match it against the more powerful Skirrows.

 

Sadly they don't seem to have fans like Mrs Batson these days.

The car her husband was involved in to some extent was up for auction last year. Some nice pics of the restored car. Seem to have got the two Ronnie's mixed up though

It has been such a long time but Mrs B come into my head tonight and I had to google, which brought me here. Remember after the meetings, up in the bar, talking to to Mrs B. I remember looking up to this wonderfully spoken woman. she gave me some advice and let me know that I was one of her boys. Made me feel that I was someone. Fond memorys.
